Shower Mixer - Adding Elegance to Your Bathroom
If you're like me, you use more than one shower in your home. For this reason, it's important that your shower mixer is functional and effective. It's a good idea to replace your shower mixer periodically to ensure you get enough water pressure and that the mixing valve isn't getting bogged down by calcium build up.

An electric shower mixer is basically a valves and a control panel that mixes your hot and cold tap water to the right temperature for your shower. An old-fashioned manual shower mixer or an old-fashioned pressure balancing cylinder does exactly what it says on the tin - balance the water pressure. Unfortunately, both of these types are no longer being manufactured due to their high electricity costs.

One of the advantages of using an electric shower mixer is that they save you money on your water bill. They are also quieter than a normal shower and usually require less maintenance than a conventional shower. However, there are some disadvantages too. One of the main disadvantages is that a faulty or worn shower mixer will not be able to deliver the correct water pressure to your showerheads. This can cause an embarrassing shower experience where you have to ask other people to help you fix the problem.

Shower mixers are also available in two main types. There are those that are "single lever" and those that are "double lever". A single lever shower mixer allows you to set the desired temperature using a single lever, whereas a double lever shower mixer requires a lever push or pull to change the temperature. The advantage of a double lever shower mixer is that it is easier to get the desired temperature. Also, it can save you effort as you don't have to turn the hot water on and off yourself.

If you want to be modern and if you want to add some elegance to your bathroom, you can go for a chrome shower mixer. Chrome shower mixers will not only give you some sleek looks to your bathroom, but it also adds some health benefits too. Because the chrome has been treated with chemicals to bring elegance to it, you won't feel the irritation of hot water when taking a bath in your shower. It also protects the shower from corrosion as it is made of non-corrosive materials.

If you want a mixer that has been designed to withstand time, you should buy a valve shower mixer. There are many models of valves that come with a built in timer. Timer based valves allow you to set the desired cold water temperature as you please and automatically turns the cold water valve down when the desired temperature is achieved. So, if you want to keep your bathroom thermostat at a comfortable temperature and prevent it from getting too hot, you should consider buying a timer based shower mixer valve.
